Fat Banana Automatic is a perfect strain for indica lovers seeking unrivalled flavour and a fast flowering time.
Her name sums her up perfectly; Fat Banana Automatic stinks of tropical fruits and produces large, chubby flowers. The strain is the autoflowering version of Fat Banana, an aromatic classic. The original made her mark on the cannabis world with her insane scent, massive THC level, and rewarding yield. Our breeders decided to cross this popular photoperiod variety, descendant of Banana x OG Kush, with a ruderalis specimen over several generations to create a fast and impressive indica auto. Now, she’s easier to grow than ever before and offers a great yield in record time!
Fat Banana Automatic inherited indica-dominant genetics from the original strain. Much like her predecessor, she provokes a body-slamming high par excellence. Her effects take hold immediately, plunging users into a euphoric state of relaxation. All of this is fuelled by a high level of THC that sets Fat Banana Automatic apart from most other autos. The strain is ideal for evening smoke sessions. Users might feel too relaxed to function properly during the daytime. Cook some food, put on a good film, and get ready for a few hours of couch-lock.
Fat Banana Automatic’s potency also gives her medicinal viability. Her calming nature is effective at reducing stress, and the physical aspect of her high may help to relieve aches and pains.
The original Fat Banana was given her name for a reason. Her bulbous buds produce a fruity and sweet terpene profile. Fat Banana Automatic inherited these sugary scents alongside flavours of banana, sweetness, and citrus fruit.
Fat Banana Automatic provides a hefty harvest after only 9–10 weeks from germination. Her speedy growth pattern is perfect for impatient growers looking to smoke as soon as possible. When grown indoors, she’ll produce a good yield of up to 450g/m² and grow no taller than 100cm. Outdoor plants peak at 120cm and produce a harvest of 175g per plant.

Strain FAQ
What terpenes give banana flavoured strains their banana flavour?
Some cannabis strains' banana aroma comes from terpenes. Myrcene is musky, earthy, and fruity, leaning towards banana sweetness. Limonene gives the flavour a zesty, fresh kick. Pinene with a hint of pine and humulene with an earthy depth create a balanced, delightful scent.
Does the light spectrum matter when it comes to indoor cannabis?
Indoor lighting customisation is reportedly like a magic wand. It is said that some legal growers adjust illumination to control plant growth and cannabinoid and terpene development. Increasing blue light, they say, could boost the plant's terpene profile and aroma and flavour.
Is it all just about the High THC content and nothing else?
No! Even though THC is the most commonly known psychoactive element within the cannabis plant, even THC heavyweights don't just have strength. It is said that other cannabinoids and terpenes complement THC to create the strain's particular flavour. Due to their chemical makeup, it is well known that two strains with comparable THC amounts may have quite distinct experiences.
What traits make a cannabis strain beginner-friendly?
Beginner strains are generally hardy and require little maintenance. They can handle temperature, humidity, and food changes due to their robust genetics. Being resistant to common pests and illnesses is said to simplify things greatly.
Have auto-flowering strains' THC levels changed?
A revolution has occurred in auto-flowering. Previously low in THC, selective breeding has increased their potency quite quickly! Some auto-flowering cultivars now outperform photoperiod ones when it comes to sheer potency!
